Tarateeno did not handle the soft ground last time but he showed enough here to suggest a poor heat can come his way this spring.
The Apprentice was being shoved along from the end of the back straight and plugged on but he looks far from straightforward and has not built on a Plumpton win over hurdles back in December.
Qrackers came there with a chance off the home turn but then stopped as if something was badly amiss in the straight.
